About David Hasselhoff Memorabilia & Collectibles, David Hasselhoff began his claim to fame with the 1980’s hit Knight Rider as the driver behind the high tech talking Trans Am named KITT. The duo fought crime for the show’s four year run and although a huge success, many more people might know David Hasselhoff best for his long running television phenomenon Baywatch.
The show lasted for over a decade and made Hasselhoff a household name. However, despite the show’s future longevity and success it was canceled after its first season. Hasselhoff, having tremendous faith in the show, revived it by investing his own money and becoming its executive producer in 1991, according to research.
His faith proved correct because the show endured and flourished throughout America and the world. In fact according to the Guinness Book of World Records Baywatch became the most watched program in the world, with over 1.1 billion viewers.
David Hasselhoff can take some credit in the casting for the show as well, which launched the careers of many actors, most notably Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.
Perhaps little known other than a punch line here in the U.S is David Hasselhoff the pop singer. David had two number one hits on the German pop charts in 1989; the first one, entitled “Looking for Freedom” resonated deeply with fans, particularly during the collapse of the Berlin Wall according to sources.
Hasselhoff made many attempts to break through into the U.S music scene, but he never took off despite his popularity. In 1994 David scheduled a pay preview concert from Atlantic City where he hoped to reignite his singing career only to be upstaged by O.J Simpson’s fleeing from police in his white Bronco.
Viewers made the switch from his program to the O.J. chase as luck would have it and he has never tried for another concert since. Hasselhoff’s celebrity as a musician has always stayed bright in Europe, but he undoubtedly remains one of the most recognizable celebrities anywhere in the world.
